People have children because they are biologically predisposed to do so. I won't ever be having children because I feel nothing for them. I dislike them at times but mostly I have no emotion at all towards them. For the same reason, I will not have children because I would be a bad parent. Most people have too much ego to even admit they would be bad parents, or care depending on how you perceive it. I've seen plenty of people do a poor job parenting, and I would not force my habits upon children of my own.
Analog cracked me up with his stance against children. That post reminded me so much of my own sister that it's scary. She takes a very anti-children position, too.
